Always was really intrigued by fungi cleaning up oil, this one is new to me!

Fungi are remarkable organisms - there barely exists a substance that some fungal species can't metabolise. Their potential in biotechnological applications is absolutely massive.

I was thinking of a floating carbon materials that can provide a platform and have fungi growing on it that could be applied to oil spills.
Would love to experiment with it...
Anybody know any papers on seawater fungi that could be applied or anything else in this territory?
